Ourense adds twenty positions to the 2026 public employment offer

The Ourense City Council is expanding its public employment offer for the 2026 fiscal year with the addition of twenty new positions. The Local Government Board, in the ordinary session of November 5, 2026, approved the agreement, which is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Ourense on November 13, 2026 (official reference R. 2.714), in section IV for local entities.

The file was processed by the municipal Personnel and Human Resources Service and bears the signature of the mayor, Gonzalo Pérez Jácome. The decision is adopted under article 70.2 of Royal Legislative Decree 5/2015, of October 30, which approves the revised text of the Basic Statute of Public Employees, and article 48.4 of Law 2/2015, of April 29, on public employment in Galicia.

The expansion does not start from a blank slate: the 2026 offer already had committed positions. In September, the same council called for four local police officer positions—three through internal promotion and one through mobility—processed by Mayoral Resolution 202600799, of July 24, 2026, later rectified by Decree 2026008080, of July 28. On the same day this expansion is published, the gazette also includes the conclusion of two stabilization processes from the 2022 extraordinary offer, resolved by Mayoral Resolutions 2026011646 and 2026011647, of November 2.

Fourteen General Administration technician positions in the open category

The bulk of the expansion consists of fourteen General Administration technician positions, with the following characteristics:

• Scale: General Administration, technical subscale.
• Group A, subgroup A1.
• Category: open access.
• Selection system: competitive examination (oposición).
• Reservation: one position for people with disabilities.

The agreement adds a flexibility clause: the rules of the selection process may provide that, if any of these positions remain vacant, they shall be added to the general call for open access positions to be filled by applicants from that same category.

Six internal promotion positions in the special scale

The second block consists of six positions in the Special Administration scale, in the internal promotion category and through a competitive merit-based system (concurso-oposición), with the classification appearing in the municipal personnel framework:

• One position for auxiliary technician for the maintenance of municipal buildings.
• One position for foreman of water resources and rural perimeter.
• One position for maintenance and conservation technician.
• One position for administrative coordinator of the Municipal Works Inspection.
• One position for electrician foreman.
• One position for road signaling foreman.

These six posts focus on technical offices and operational services, separate from the general administrative area to which the remaining fourteen positions are destined.

Publication in the DOG and appeal deadlines

The third point of the agreement orders the publication of the text on the notice board of the electronic headquarters of the Concello de Ourense, in the Boletín Oficial da Provincia, and in the Diario Oficial de Galicia. An appeal for reversal may be filed against the agreement within a period of one month or, directly, a contentious-administrative appeal within a period of two months.

Both periods shall be counted from date to date starting from the day following the publication of the announcement in the Diario Oficial de Galicia, without prejudice to any other appeal or action that the interested parties consider appropriate.

The expansion consolidates a stable public employment route in the Ourense council and opens twenty positions for higher degree holders, maintenance personnel, and operational staff, with an explicit reserve for people with disabilities and an internal quota that allows for the promotion of those already working in the organization.
